Programs Five Women Who Loved Love is far more than a collection of skillfully told erotic tales. As pointed out by the translator and scholar Wm. Theodore de Bary, it is a discriminating and compassionate study of the complexities of human love. Saikaku’s style, as allusive as it is witty, as abbreviated as it is penetrating, is a challenge that few translators have dared face, and certainly never before with the success achieved in this translation in recapturing the heady flavor of the original. Ihara Saikaku (1641-1693) has been described as the greatest popular Japanese novelist of the 17th century. Also a poet, Saikaku founded the ukiyo-zôshi (books of the floating world) genre, which flourished between the 1680s and the 1770s. Wm. Theodore de Bary is an American sinologist and East Asian literature scholar who has edited numerous books primarily relating to Japanese and Chinese literature, history and culture. - He is recognized as essentially creating the field of Neo-Confucian studies.
